Hi Helen,
The only have 4 people with the name Hughes in my family Henrietta born 1831, Her father
Samuel Hughes who married Ann Eveans, a Michael hughes who married Gail Mabbott and David
Hughes who married Sheila Armed.
Do these ring any bells with you?
Regards
Sian

Hi Sian,
My Hughes ancestors are largely born in Tredegar, however I have a William (born 1847) who
got married in Tredegar and his father was John Hughes and his mother Sarah Ann Jenkins -
I don't know where any of these were born.
Do you have any Hughes of those names in your Tree?
Regards
Helen

Ann Hughes Nee Eveans which is another form of Evans. Henrietta married Robert Palmer in
Abergavenny 1850 and had 4 children Tabitha Jane, Robert, Mary & Amelia.
I don,t know if there is any connection

Hi All,
This is the first time I've contributed, but I've been reading the list messages
for a while and everyone is so knowledgable on this region (I was born and brought up in
Tredegar, but have only got into my Family History project whilst I'm living 160 miles
away!).
My interests in this area are the surnames: PRICE, WILLIAMS, MORGAN, MEREDITH, HUGHES,
especially in the Tredegar, Nantyglo and Abertillery areas.
In particular, I am searching for details of a Sarah Williams (my great-grandmother). From
her marriage certificate (1899 at Siloam Chapel, Llanelly, Breconshire) she was born in
1877 and on her marriage was living in Brynmawr. Her father's name was Lewis Williams
and he was a Coal Miner.
From the 1901 census, where she is living in Abertillery ( Underhouses Princess Street)
with husband Joseph Price (also a coal miner) and baby Clifford, it is unclear where her
birthplace was. It could be Nantyglo, or even Abersychan. Sarah and Joseph went on to have
at least 8 more children (the last one was born in 1916) - Thomas, Phyllis, Clarice,
Leslie, Albert, Lena, Olive and Nancy.
Any suggestions on how to proceed further with Sarah Williams and Lewis Williams would be
gratefully received, as I cannot find out any more details about them, other than what is
written above.
Cheers
Helen
